Progressive liberal/social democrat. I find a lot of self-proclaimed leftists are larpy as hell. Often attached to ideological purity over practical political needs and coalition-building. I think “the revolution” is often a pseudo-religious event, like the rapture. Mad respect for leftists who actually do useful stuff, though. I volunteer with a group of anarchists who do real, non-larpy work.
